Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of belt conveyor deviation correction, in particular to a belt conveyor deviation correction method, device and system. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the production, transportation and processing of power plants, steel plants and coal, the coal needs to be transported. The belt conveyor is widely used in many industries due to its large transportation capacity, strong carrying capacity and long transportation distance.
[0003] The Euro bin for storing coal is 65 meters high. The coal is transported by multi-stage belt conveyor from the wharf to the coal bin. During the transportation process, the horizontal speed difference of the coal falling process may be caused by the change of the speed of the upper belt conveyor, which may cause the center of gravity of the material accumulated on the belt to deviate to the right or left. If the center of gravity deviates to one direction for a long time, the belt may deviate to the opposite direction. The existing method for detecting the deviation of the belt is to manually patrol the site or install a camera at the end of the belt line. The deviation of the belt is monitored in the central control room. When the deviation of the belt is found, the maintenance personnel need to manually adjust the position of the belt at the starting end of the belt line. Manual patrol is limited by the number of patrols and may not be able to timely detect the deviation of the belt. The maintenance personnel can reduce the workload by visually judging the deviation of the belt through the camera. However, it takes a certain time to walk from the central control room to the belt line after the deviation of the belt is found, which cannot achieve timely correction. Moreover, it is difficult to make a quick and accurate judgment through manual detection, which also increases the work intensity of the related personnel. SUMMARY

Therefore, the terms used in the specification should not be understood as simple names, but based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of the present application.
[0035] The present embodiment provides a belt conveyor deviation correction method, comprising the following steps,
[0036] S1: Dynamic signal acquisition and analysis, emit modulated signals through electromagnetic wave detection devices, acquire real-time original signals of the target area, and analyze the original signals to generate a multi-dimensional data set containing target position, speed, and phase information.
[0037] Specifically, the electromagnetic wave detection device is preferably a laser radar, and the specific steps of step S1: dynamic signal acquisition and analysis include,
[0038] S1.1: Use a 77GHz millimeter wave radar array to emit an FMCW signal with a sweep bandwidth of 4GHz, and the scanning frequency is ≥20Hz, to collect real-time original radar signals.
[0039] S1.2: Based on the original radar signals, a multi-dimensional data matrix is generated, including the range-Doppler spectrum (RDM), the azimuth-elevation angle spectrum (AES), and the I / Q signal phase flow.
[0040] S2: Environmental noise suppression processing, dynamically separate static structures and dynamic targets, implement adaptive filtering in the frequency domain or time-frequency joint domain, and suppress multipath interference and electromagnetic noise.
[0041] Specifically, the specific steps of step S2: environmental noise suppression processing include,
[0042] S2.1: Separate static background and dynamic targets by sliding window Kalman filtering (SW-KF), i.e., separate the belt, support (static background) and material (dynamic target).
[0043] S2.2: Implement Wiener filtering on the separated dynamic target data in the range-velocity domain to suppress multipath interference and electromagnetic noise, and output the noise-reduced dynamic target data.
[0044] S3: Material feature extraction and classification, reconstruct the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the material based on the dynamic target data, analyze the material's motion velocity field, correct the velocity error caused by external vibration, and according to the electromagnetic scattering characteristics, inverse the material physical properties to realize material classification.
[0045] Specifically, the specific steps of step S3: material feature extraction and classification include,
[0046] S3.1: Based on the noise-reduced dynamic target data in step S2.2, use MIMO radar virtual aperture technology to reconstruct the three-dimensional point cloud of the material surface.
[0047] S3.2: Perform Doppler velocity field analysis on the three-dimensional point cloud to extract the material surface micro-motion features and eliminate the velocity error caused by belt vibration.
[0048] S3.3: Inversion of material dielectric constant based on radar cross section (RCS) characteristics, identification of material types (coal, ore, etc.).
[0049] S4: Spatiotemporal feature modeling and analysis, combined with three-dimensional spatial distribution and corrected velocity field, extracting the spatiotemporal features of material movement, and through the feature enhancement module dynamically focusing on the movement state of the key area.
[0050] Specifically, the specific steps of step S4: spatiotemporal feature modeling and analysis include,
[0051] S4.1: Input the reconstructed three-dimensional point cloud in step S3.1 and the corrected velocity field data in step S3.2 into the spatiotemporal model, and use 3D convolution kernel to extract material movement trajectory features.
[0052] S4.2: Introduce attention mechanism (CBAM module) in the spatiotemporal model to dynamically focus on the movement features of high-flow areas.
[0053] S5: Correction control, based on spatiotemporal features to calculate the real-time flow and center of gravity offset of the material, and use multi-source data fusion algorithm to optimize the calculation results, and output correction instructions to the execution mechanism.
[0054] Specifically, the specific steps of step S5: correction control include,
[0055] S5.1: Based on the dynamic target movement features of high-flow areas focused in step S4.2, calculate the volume flow rate and center of gravity offset of the dynamic target through point cloud density field integration and spatiotemporal convolution of belt speed.

[0057] Further, the correction instructions output in step S5 are generated using a PID control algorithm, which is based on the deviation e(t) between the preset target value r(t) and the real-time center of gravity offset y(t) of the material calculated in step S5, i.e. e(t) = r(t) - y(t), and then generates the control amount through linear combination of proportion, integral and differential.
[0058] Further, the transfer function of the PID control algorithm is:
[0059]
[0060] In the formula, K p is the amplification coefficient of the proportional link; specifically, the proportional coefficient K pUsed to accelerate system response and improve system adjustment accuracy, a larger proportional gain results in faster adjustment. However, a proportional gain that is too large can cause system instability, while a proportional gain that is too small can lead to excessively long system settling time. Taking all factors into consideration, K... p The value range is 0.5 to 1.2, with K being the preferred value. p =0.8.
[0061] T i K is the integration time constant. i K is the integral coefficient. i =K p / T i Specifically, the integration time constant T i To eliminate steady-state error, a larger integral time constant results in faster elimination of the steady-state error. However, an excessively large integral time constant can lead to integral saturation, while an excessively small one will make it difficult to eliminate the steady-state error, affecting the system's adjustment accuracy. Considering all factors, T... i The value range is 3s to 8s, with T being the preferred value. i =5.
[0062] T d K is the differential time constant. d K is the differential coefficient. d =K p *T d Specifically, the differential time constant T d It is used to predict the trend of deviation changes and reduce overshoot and settling time. However, an excessively large differential time constant will reduce the system's anti-interference capability, T d The value range is 0.1s to 0.5s, with T being preferred. d =0.2.
